F.R.A. bitless system 2: bitless bridles are not new! For centuries a bitless bridle was taken for granted, before it was ever thought of putting something in the horse's mouth, people simply put something around it. A rope as a halter was sufficient at the time and that is how the first bitless bridle was created. In combination with the supporting weight, leg and feeling aids, the rider's hand maintains contact via the reins, not with the mouth, but with the head of the horse. These rein aids are passed on to the nose, neck and/or cheeks.
F.R.A. bitless system 2: Working principle: pressure on nose
General: Horses naturally react reflexively to pressure on their nose, any unspoiled horse will listen to help applied to the nose by pressure.
Suitability: With the bridle, it is possible to build a refined, very clear communication. The bridle gives very good discriminating signals and the experienced rider will feel good with this bitless bridle in a relatively short time. In general, the bridle offers good possibilities for use with sensitive horses and in particular when breaking in young horses.
